After 14 long years, Red Dead Redemption and its spooky counterpart, Undead Nightmare, are officially riding into town on PC. Rockstar’s Wild West epic and its iconic zombie-horror expansion will be available on PC for the first time ever on October 29, 2024. The game which was originally launched in 2010 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is the second instalment in the Red Dead series.
Fans of John Marston—the main protagonist of the game—have waited over a decade for this announcement. Rockstar has revealed that the PC port is made—once again—by Double Eleven, who also handled the 2023 PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ports of Red Dead Redemption. The game will be available on PC across Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Rockstar Store. Pricing is yet to be announced.
The Steam description confirms the PC version of Red Dead Redemption will feature the complete single-player experiences of both games (Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare), including bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. Multiplayer content is not available.
